Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy





161. Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy

Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy is a 4 hour documentary regarding the entire Nightmare on Elm Street film series.

This one comes to us from the same team that produced His Name Was Jason, a similar documentary about the Friday the 13th series. While I enjoyed that one, this one is just off the charts in comparison.

The documentary covers all 7 Nightmare movies, Freddy vs Jason and the syndicated Freddy's Nightmares television series. It is extremely in-depth, spending extended amounts of time on each feature. Anecdotes and behind the scenes information comes from 106 people somehow involved in the series. It is engrossing and at times, very humorous. It manages to have a long run-time without becoming repetitive or tedious.

Overall, this is probably the best documentary of its type that we'll ever see. I can't possibly recommend this one enough.
